Authentic Japanese Futons, Futon Mattresses (Shikibuton) & Bedding Sets
We are Australia's #1 supplier of Authentic Japanese Futons. We do not sell futons made with locally sourced cotton as we believe the Australian environment cannot sustainably grow cotton without damaging river ecosystems.
A Japanese futon consists of two parts: a mattress (shikibuton) and a Quilt/Doona (kakebuton). We import hand-made, high quality futons from a small family-run factory, on Shikoku Island, that has been in operation for many generations.
We do not sell mattresses for sofa beds or slatted 'futon' bases. They are not real futons. Authentic Japanese futons require a solid, flat surface.
These are the only genuine futons sold in Australia that are made in Japan.

Both the shikibuton & kakebuton come individually stitched (quilted) and therefore, need to be covered. Covers are included with all purchases.
These are the main reasons to choose an authentic Japanese futon over a local or Western-style 'futon':
Key Advantages of an Authentic Japanese Futon
Convenience & Portability
- Easy Storage: Easily fold and store daily. For spare-bed storage, use the supplied vacuum bag to shrink it to 1/3 size
- Lightweight: At only 6.8 - 13.7kg, it's ideal for bad backs and much easier to handle than a heavy Australian 'Futon'.
Health & Hygiene
- Mould/Pest Control: Sunning, airing and beating the futon is essential. The sun's UV kills bugs & mould that live in all mattresses, promoting a healthier sleep environment.
- Materials: Our premium cotton is unbleached and untreated, avoiding harmful chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, boron or sodium hypochlorite.
- Moisture-Free: unlike foam-cored mattresses that trap moisture (creating a breeding ground for mould/bugs), the cotton design dries out properly.
Comfort & Customisation
- Adjustment Period: Allow 1-4 weeks for your body to adjust to the firmness.
- Customisation: Futons compress in the hip and shoulder regions. For extra padding, add a mattress topper underneath or stack two mattresses for a luxurious feel.
Authenticity & Quality
- Genuine Quality: These are the original and best futons made by an award-winning futon master. They contain no industrial cotton or foam.
- Brand New: Futons are never slept on prior to sale. There is no trial period offered
Why spend 1/3 of your life on a pretend futon when you can get the real deal from Japanache?
